“The abattoir at Chengicherla doesn’t have a treatment plant but the rendering plant is under trial and would take three months to be completely operational,” Mr Reddy said.

Over one lakh residents of different colonies around the Jawaharnagar dump yard are tormenting and are demanding that abattoir be closed till the treatment plant is fully operational.
